Classic and Contemporary Poetry


PREPARATION by GLADYS CROMWELL

First Line: A TIME WILL COME WHEN I SHALL BREATHE
Last Line: FROM SILENCE IN THE TIME TO COME!

A TIME will come when I shall breathe
New melodies to soothe and fold,
Like portions of a mellow sheath,
My sorrow. While my songs withhold
Their tones, I pause before the years;
I gaze on the grey world; I strive
To clear the mist of doubting tears.
-- My songs, what music you'll derive
From silence in the time to come!
